Hi,
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, I'm not going to tell you!
Learning macro from a textbook is easy. Once we have to work with real data sources, things get messy. The ONS has lots of data, with slightly different names, definitions etc. and finding exactly what we want is difficult. So, the point of q6 (and q7) is an opportunity to start exploring the world of data. It's quite likely that for the essay component of ec2002, you'll have to collect data and analyze data, so this is a little bit of practice.
Some advice:
1. ***Work together***
2. Ask friends in 3rd and 4th year for advice.
3. Spend the time to read definitions. Download data. Do the units look right? When you plot it, does it pass the common sense test? etc. etc.
Happy data hunting!!
Oliver

Hi,
Yes, solutions will - in general - be up on Moodle sometime during the weekend after the tutorial. In this case, they'll be up pretty soon.
Best
